Understanding the Subtraction Property of Inequality

A facilities manager determines that the monthly energy consumption of Building A is greater than that of Building B. If both buildings implement an identical energy-saving measure that reduces their consumption by exactly 500 kWh per month, name the specific mathematical property that explains why Building A's consumption remains greater than Building B's. Additionally, state what happens to the direction of the inequality symbol when this property is applied to both sides of an inequality.
